Cornelia snapped back to reality, hastily tearing off Marcus' sleeve to bandage his wound. Luckily, Zavier didn't get the chance to fire a second shot.
Ayden was the first one to rush in and subdue Zavier, followed by the airport security, who managed to control the situation and set up a cordon. Thankfully, Dr. Lester was also there, he immediately took out his medical kit and treated Marcus' wound.
Marcus wasn't seriously injured, just a few scratches on his skin, but Cornelia was teary-eyed with worry, "Jeremy, you big dummy! Don't you realize how dangerous it was? You could have been killed if that bullet was off by just a bit. You idiot, why do you have to be so reckless? Can't you think of yourself when you're in danger?"
Cornelia kept scolding Marcus for being a fool, her eyes filled with tears.
Marcus pulled her into his arms with his unharmed hand, "Silly girl, it's because you're my wife. I've heard people say, 'the husband should take care of his wife'."
Cornelia mumbled, "That's old-fashioned."
Marcus shook his head, "I don't think it's old-fashioned, A husband should be able to withstand any danger. Even if the sky falls, he should protect his wife from all dangers."
Cornelia said with emotion, "You can't be so reckless in the future."
The future? Did he have a future? Did they have a future?
Marcus hoped for a future more than anyone else. But he knew there was no future for him.
Marcus gently touched Cornelia's head and softly said, "Okay".
Back in the room, Marcus gently put Cornelia on the bed, then went to the bathroom to get a towel to wash her face. But as soon as he let go, Cornelia grabbed him. With a strong pull, Marcus lost his balance, his tall body leaning towards her.
His lips just happened to land on hers, and Cornelia took the opportunity to kiss him.
Marcus propped himself up, not allowing her to get her way, "I haven't showered yet."
Cornelia tugged at his shirt, her hand quickly slipping inside, "How about we shower together?"
Why would Marcus have a reason to say no?
